New Electoral College Map correlated with Swing States expected return to pre-recession levels of employment---this one IS important...

I put a yellow star on the State that according to Real Clear Politics is considered a "swing State" by Real Clear Politics.  The colors are coded by when it is expected the State will return to Pre-Recession employment levels in that State.  Of particular interest are the States with a star AND are either green, yellow or red.  All those (except Colorado and Virgina) are passed the Presidential election this November. Pundits suggest people will vote on the economic issues when the election nears and all the other issues will dissipate.  If this is the case, then the President has more of a challenge at this point.

Remember, ignore national popular polls between Romney and Obama. What counts is the Electoral College map.
